Munchak says Finnegan ‘a perfect pro’

Cornerback Cortland Finnegan helped set the tone for the Titans against the Ravens. He broke up a pass intended for Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin on the first series then smacked tight end Ed Dickson on the second. Later he deflected a pass that was intercepted by cornerback Jason McCourty.

“Since he got through that first week of training camp he has been nothing but a perfect pro here,” Coach Mike Munchak said of Finnegan, who left camp for a day because of a contract dispute. “He practices hard, the guy has great work ethic, and he is a great example to the other guys on defense and this team.”

Teammates voted Finnegan a team captain prior to the start of the season.

“He came out playing, and he came out hitting,” Munchak said. “He was knocking balls loose and that’s contagious in a big way.”
